Chapter 854 – Disembarking is a Problem

As the Great Xia Dynasty prepared for the battle, waves rose up in the Mediterranean once more.

5th month, 10th day, Queen Kalia sent out an invitation to all the Lords in the Mediterranean to invite them over as guests to Atlantis and discuss Atlantic technology.

During ancient times, Atlantis was sunk by a flood and buried at the bottom of the ocean. A year ago, Atlantis had reappeared with Ouyang Shuo's help.

However, compared to the huge and unimaginable Atlantis civilization, this city was just one small corner; it was not even 1:1000.

In the Atlantis Library, there were many recordings of their civilization and its past.

Kali proposed to gather the strength of the Mediterranean to once again dive back into the ocean to search for more of the treasures of Atlantis; this way, they could rediscover more technology.

The moment the news went out, many gathered as a matter of course.

Even Caesar, who had other intentions, could not look away from the temptation and was ready to accept the invitation.

All of a sudden, the Mediterranean was bustling, starting an unprecedented ocean exploration mission. As a result, they became the talking point of the entire world.

...

5th month, 12th day, Jidian City.

The Jidian City covered by night was like a giant ocean beast, quietly hiding in the ocean and using its cold and icy gaze to stare at the ships that entered the Mediterranean. It was like the Cerberus that guarded hell, making one shiver.

As the ocean breeze blew across, it brought with it a fishy smell.

Even at nightfall, Jidian City's Gibraltar Port was still lit up. Thousands of ships with different sails were docked by the port.

Each ship in the port was a huge voyaging ship that brought with it the merchants' dream of riches.

The dock was filled with people, bustling with excitement.

Over 10 different inns lined the docks, exuding the scent of wine, giving the sailors and merchants the best place for entertainment.

As this was a chokepoint of the voyage trading, this place had eastern exquisite inns and also the crazier western ones. Many were where eastern and western culture merged together.

In the inn, it was common to see easterners and westerners gathered together to talk about deals.

And such clamor would last till early morning of the next day.

Without an exception, all these inns were where the Black Snake Guards monitored.

To Black Snake who was an international mercenary, mixing with such crowds was like a fish in water.

He was simply too familiar with such an environment. Even if he closed his eyes, Black Snake knew who he could get intel from and who he could not.

In history, inns were places where information spread. Merchants travelled everywhere and learnt a lot of information and knowledge. They could all unknowingly leak some that could turn into important intel.

Just through such inns, Black Snake Guards could obtain large amounts of international intel.

...

9 PM, Star of the desert inn.

Amongst the inns, this one located all the way at the west of the dock; it was really unassuming. The only thing was that the owner was a black man and came from Africa. Of course, no one would look down on him as anyone who could open an inn here had some ability.

In a normal room on the second floor, Black Snake was meeting someone.

At the current moment, the inn looked normal. But in truth, everything was being monitored by the Black Snake Guards, and even the owner of the inn was a member of the Black Snake Guards.

”Did you bring the thing?” Black Snake asked.

The person sitting opposite Black Snake was a Berber; he came from Morocco. He was 30 odd years old and wore a black robe. Even his head was covered with a black scarf.

If one was in the military, one could tell from the way that he was sitting that he was a soldier.

The mysterious man said with a coarse voice, ”I've brought the thing you wanted, what about what I wanted?”

Black Snake smiled, taking out a wooden box, ”Take a look!”

The mysterious man hesitated before opening it. The moment he opened it, he saw a pigeon egg sized diamond. Even in the dark, it still shone bright.

That's it!”

The mysterious man was emotional.

Black Snake grinned. Who knows how he did it, but the box closed. ”You have seen it, so it is time to let me see what I wanted.”
